Literature and Catholicism

Summary/Abstract: Works from the 4th edition of the Catholicism and literature in the XXth century Europe (May 2003). This conference looks at the relationship between Catholicism and literature through the glass of the correlation between Occidental and Oriental Europe. Literature has, in this context, a unifying role. It is one of the common factors of those two lungs of Europe: Occident and Orient. Claudio Damiani: Earth’s Poetry: Pascoli and Esenin. This text reproduces one of the lectures of the same symposium. The correlation between Occidental and Oriental Europe is seen here as one between Pascoli and Esenin, regarding the subject of earth and religion as nostalgia. Giovanni D’Alessandro – Fersu: The Uncanny Nature of the Person in the “Deserted Country” of Eliot Giovanni Casoli: Czeslaw Milosz – Poet of the Exile Franc Kejzar – Europe in the poetry of Srečko Kosovel. The article focuses on the evolution of the poetry of Srecko Kosovel from the feeling of the profound and dense solitude of the artist to the reality of the shared solitude of our European civilization, or, to put it in other terms, the evolution from the impressionistic and expressionistic poetry of the local grounds to the constructivist, sometimes socialist poetry of the entity called Europe. Professor Stanislaw Grygiel, from the Pontifical John Paul the Second Institute, brings before the readers’ eyes a less known face of the well known Pope John Paul the Second, that of a poet. Tadeusz Rostworowski, s.j. – Karol Wojtyla’s Personalism Since Karol Wojtyla’s thought is strictly related to his lived experience, Rostworowski tries to understand Wojtyla’s personalism by connecting it with his experiences of life. Professor Adriano Dell’Asta from the Catholic University of Brescia and Milan discusses, in his essay, the religious dimension of Bulgakov’s works.
